outside their door, or in their local park, immediately contact local media or the council to complain bitterly. Some councils have had to
close facilities such as bowling greens, tennis courts, football and cricket pitches, ironically at a time when the Olympic legacy and the obesity crisis are high- profile concerns. Often, they are being forced, by the Government’s meagre financial settlements, into hurried staff restructures resulting in depleted parks departments, job losses, facility closures and reduced maintenance frequencies. Departments were previously encouraged to create visions for their green spaces, along with strategies, management plans and policy aspirations. These are being hurriedly dumbed down or jettisoned in a bid to cope, and we have rapidly changed from an era of improvement and achievement back to managing decline.
English Heritage, which keeps
a register of historic parks and gardens, say that over ninety of its 1600 plus sites are on an ‘at risk register’, still having no long term management and maintenance plans. Many cash-strapped councils
have chosen to lose managers and office support staff and even site-based staff and rangers, leaving services unable
to cope with increased workloads, especially with the swelling tide of newly- generated complaints. Without thinking through the consequences to communities, some authorities could find themselves in real difficulties by not choosing the cut-backs wisely.
It is difficult to reverse
changes once the budget has gone, the facilities closed, the savings made and the public and media are up in arms! Many parks professionals are struggling to keep up with the pressures of day-to-day workload, and important decisions are often then taken by senior managers and council members who lack parks sector background, which is not always a problem, but can lead to the making of elementary mistakes. There is now a real danger
that parks and open spaces could decline again to the level of the seventies and eighties, through neglect, and even abandonment, as there is no current recognised and agreed approach to reducing services, or guidance available on how to intelligently and positively manage cut-backs without causing harm to infrastructure, biodiversity and the health and wellbeing of communities. It will be interesting to see
what solutions emerge over the PC APRIL/MAY 2015 I 93
